"Even if I wanted to tell Bulma the answer, which was 3 weeks ago before the arguing started, if 18 found out I told anyone something that personal about us I would be a dead man." Krillin thought to himself.
Krillin looked in the back of the air car. He couldn't help but smile at the little wonder who was passed out in her car seat. She did play A LOT with Trunks so it makes sense that she was only awake for about 5 minutes in the vehicle.
Maybe it was time to admit defeat. He did think it was time to move, but if 18 really wanted to stay maybe it would be worth the trouble to keep her joyful. He did love her more than anything in the worlds, and hey if she was happy he was happy.
Around 2 hours later 18 arrived back at Kame House she entered the house to see Krillin sitting at the table doing some paperwork for the police academy.
"Is Marron taking her nap?" Asked the Cyborg.
"Yea." Her husband said. "Hey honey, I think I have a compromise."
"Good, I was getting tired of this feud. I want things to back to the way they were." She said.
Back at Capsule Corp Bulma was a bit uneasy about the situation. Bulma couldn't stop thinking about her friends' love life. She didn't want it to say it to Krillin but after she found out that 18 keeps leaving the island...well...Krillin wasn't the most attractive guy so….. She didn't want it to be true, but she was just being realistic. Not necessarily cheating but the inventor did think that the cybernetic woman was thinking about it since they were fighting and...no this was ridiculous. "18 would never cheat on Krillin." she thought "No fight is gonna change that. Although, maybe I could just check, for their sake."
Later that day, still at the dome shaped building, a certain half saiyan walked into the place.
"Oh that would be perfect, but who would do it?" Is what the z-fighter known as Gohan heard when he saw Bulma. He decided to speak up, he didn't to eavesdrop and hear something he wasn't supposed to.
"Hey Bulma! I just wanted to drop by after class and give you the capsule that Goten stole. It was a submarine this time, my mom said she was really sorry and that it will nev-"
"Thanks Gohan, and tell your mom that it was probably my son that made him take it, just set it down on the table in front of you." Bulma said interrupting Gohan.
Gohan did what she said, and it was at this point she noticed what Gohan was wearing. "Gohan, why are you wearing that if you just got off of school?" She asked.
Gohan was wearing a tank top and shorts. "Oh, one of Videl's ex-boyfriends, I think he was an ex-boyfriend or maybe he was just jealous, threw a bucket of water on us while I was walking her home after my classes." The son of Goku explained.
"Please tell me you didn't do anything back Gohan."
"Oh of course not, I know not to abuse my power, but Videl didn't show the mercy I did….I feel like sometimes she can be stronger than me if she gets mad enough!"
"Well serves the Jerk right, Is the college life treating you alright?"
(A/N: I don't know if he went to college in the show, but you think he would since he ` became a scholar.)
"Yea it really is. I'll hopefully be out in another year or two and Videl and I can start a life together."
Gohan kept talking about his plans for the future, but Bulma wasn't paying attention. Seeing him in his outfit gave Bulma an ingenious idea.
"Hey Gohan" The woman said not knowing what the hell Gohan was talking about anymore. "You would do anything to help out Krillin if you had to, right?"
Gohan was a little startled since that question came out of nowhere but he still answered truthfully. "Well uh yea, I think you know the answer to that Bulma. W-Why did you ask me?"
"What about 18, would you help her out if you could?" The wife of Vegeta asked.
"Bulma why are you asking all these questions?" Gohan asked.
"Just answer the question."
"Well I don't know her AS well, but yea she's a fellow Z-fighter and I'd say we are friends. Hey if Krillin is my Godfather does that make 18 my Godmother?"
"That's not important right now, so they need help with something and I know a way you can help, will you do it?"
"Yeah of course, no problem, I'll do it. I consider Krillin to be one of if not my best friend so I think its an obv-
"Ok great, let me fill you in on the situation."
Bulma told the young man about what occurred earlier in the day.
"Oh man that's a shame, but I'm sure they'll work it out Bulma. There's really nothing to worry about."
The Capsule Corp CEO then told him about the conversation she had to Krillin one on one.
"What? You think it's that serious?" The student asked.
"Yes, and as their friends is our job to help them."
"Woah I don't know Bulma, I wouldn't want anyone messing with my relationship with Videl and im 100% sure they would want the same for theirs"
"Ok it's not really like invading or…..IT'S LIKE A TEST!" Bulma said with too much enthusiasm.
"Okay…..what kind of test…." He responded hastitally.
"All right hear me out. And don't interrupt me until I'm done. I just want to see what 18 would do if she was presented with a chance to….be with another man. I mean I'm not saying that's what she does when she flies away from where Krillin is but I want to check. SOOOO I need you to try to seduce 18 to see what she does."
"BULMA ARE YOU INSANE? I don't even know where to begin on the amount of issues with that idea!"
"Well tell me your perspective and I'll tell you mine"
This argument could get really intense, Bulma was probably the smartest woman on the planet and Gohan was no slouch in the brain departments either so the both of them would probably get really into their debate.
"Well first off I don't want to do it because I'm in a relationship. Second, 18 will probably kill me. Third, relationships are built off of trust and if Krillin didn't trust 18 or vice versa they wouldn't be happy when they were together and when we see them they are always happy. Fourth I just think that we as their fri-"
RING RING RING
"Oh sorry Gohan let me take this I think it's important." The woman said "Uh-huh, yea, ok yea I'll come override it real quick. Sorry Gohan I have to go help out an employee who is calculating our sales for the month and he needs my help."
"Well what about, you know?"
"Do it and I'll pay for your student loans."
"...WHAT? ALL OF THEM?"
"Yea sure I don't mind I'm the richest person on the planet."
"Th-Thank you"
"No problem just come back here tomorrow at the same time and I'll tell you what the you're gonna do over at Kame House."
"I'm still not sure about this, but I think my mom would kill me if I let this opportunity pass."
"I know" Bulma said smugly. "See you tomorrow Gohan, and don't worry you will be fine and you'll be helping your friends. We are testing to see how well their marriage is. If they pass then we have nothing to worry about, and if we fail then we can all fix it."
"I sure hope you're right."
And with that Gohan left not sure what he got himself into, but hey Bulma is incredibly intelligent maybe this would help Krillin and 18 in the long run. He did look up to the ex-monk, figuratively speaking, and if he could help him and his wife out he would. Even if it was in Bulma's information hungry mind, and besides his loans being paid off was too tempting.
